Green bridesmaid dresses

Limpy loo, 21 November, 2012 at 16:57 Posted on Planning 0 4

Hi all,

I am after some green bridesmaid dresses. I like sage and also darker forest green colours (we are getting married outside so liking these more natural greens rather than bright ones) and me and the girls have settled on chiffon as a fabric (don't want satin or anything shiny). We trawled the high street in london a few weeks ago and only found one contender which sadly isn't available in the correct size for one BM (they are a 12 and a 20) I feel like I am going cross eyed trawling the internet so wondered if any of you lovely hitched ladies had any suggestions? I really need to stick to high street as I don't have a big budget (I'm trying not to look at the Dessy website where the dresses are gorgeous!!)

Has anyone seen anything they think might help me. Thankyou in advance!!

    Hey

    Snap: I also wanted chiffon, sage green bridesmaid dresses - so hard to find: try:

    www.girlsofelegance.co.uk - I like the one below which is reasonably priced.

    I have brought blue bridesmaid dresses from debenhams but they aren't quite right, and OH reckons green will look better at our venue so considering these instead

    My bridesmaid tries these on, from coast:

    https://www.coastfashion.com/coast/fcp-product/2224675155 - maxi

    https://www.coastfashion.com/coast/fcp-product/2224665755 - short

    We ended up going with BHS' satin ones as it matched my dress, but I really did love these!

    Ps. Keep an eye on ebay as they quite often have these where they've only ever been worn the once (there is a used size 12 on there for £15 at the moment if you search under 'green allure coast dress')

    Thanks girls! Buffy- I love the colour of those dresses- really lovely. I had the same concerns as you have suggested about the chiffon but we have tried a few on in the 'wrong' colours already and because they tend to have an underneath layer with the chiffon overlaid, most have looked really nice. Don't worry about appearing rude either- I come on here for help and comments- would be no use if everyone just agreed to be polite!!

    Helzbelz- I smiled when I saw your post- I found these Girls of Elegance dresses earlier! Will have to get the BMs to have a look and give their verdict.

    Chedi- loving that dress too, but Coast only go up to a size 18, so no good for my BMs

    Thanks all for the posts
